Of course: Peebles! Funny funny man and a brilliant writer. Very close to being my favourite actually. He was a fine leg spinner whose career was truncated by a shoulder injury that robbed him of his skill.

Curiously enough he had it fixed by a German doctor in a chance meeting after the war. He was alright after that he said. Pity he didn't meet him around 1933 he reckoned.
